FEATURE LICENSING COMMANDS
LICENSE
license
Overview This command activates the licensed software feature set on a standalone switch,
or a stack of switches.
Use the no variant of this command to deactivate the licensed software feature set
on a standalone switch, or a stack of switches.
For feature licenses, contact your authorized distributor or reseller. If a license key
expires or is incorrect so the license key is invalid, then some software features will
be unavailable.
NOTE: See the AlliedWare Plus™ datasheet for a list of current feature licenses available
by product. Purchase licenses from your authorized dealer or reseller.
In a live network, only install feature licenses during scheduled maintenance. For
example, if a feature license includes EPSR, installing that licence will cause EPSR to
be restarted with a temporary loss of EPSR network traffic.

Mode Privileged Exec
Usage You can change the license label using this command to make it specific to you
when you initially add a license. Once a license is added, any change to the license
label first requires removal of the license before adding a license again with a new
license label.
The default feature license labels are issued along with encrypted license keys by
e-mail for you to apply using this command to activate features. You can change
default feature license labels, but they must be 15 characters or less.
For example, you may want to change the label of the advanced L3 license to
“adv-L3-license”. You can check your new license label by using the show license
command.
In a stacked configuration, the license command will add a license to all stack
members and the no license command will remove a license from all stack
members. If you introduce a new stack member and it lacks a feature license that
is possessed by the other stack members, a warning message will be generated at
bootup. If this occurs, use the the license command to add the license to all stack
members, including the new stack members.
Parameter Description
<label> A name for the feature license. To determine names already in
use, use the show license command. This can be the default
name supplied for the feature, or a renamed feature name.
<key> The encrypted license key to enable a set of software features.
